Jennifer Horne, Ph.D.
Dr. Jennifer Horne (Ph.D., University of Minnesota) is an Assistant Professor of Media Studies. She teaches courses on moving image analysis, international film history, film criticism and visual theory.
Dr. Horne is currently preparing a manuscript entitled Civic Cinema: Spectatorship, Citizenship, and American Silent Film, an examination of early nontheatrical American film culture focusing on the use of motion pictures by social reformers, educators, cultural institutions, and clubs and civic associations. The book seeks to expand our understanding of the uses of film and its audience, treating ancillary markets for film exhibition during the late-silent era as indices of cinema's pastoral power.
Dr. Horne's research has appeared in The Moving Image, The Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television and Afterimage. She has book chapters forthcoming in two anthologies, Useful Cinema (Duke University Press), edited by Haidee Wasson and Charles Acland, and Learning with the Lights Out (Oxford University Press), edited by Marsha Orgeron, Devin Orgeron, and Dan Streible. She currently serves as a member of the National Film Preservation Board and is Co-chair of the Women Film Pioneers interest group of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies.
